I read an article once where the author explained that "cookbook" is a better analogy for DNA than the often used "blueprint". I guess that is applicable here?

Re: What evidence do you expect?
You miss my point... Dogs in all their varieties are still dogs. We are not any closer now to something other than a dog than we were 5,000 years ago. Phenotypic differences can actually be produced rather quickly... but there are obvious barriers that cannot be broken.
​
ToE will gladly agree with you that dogs will always exclusively give birth to dogs. Any offspring of dogs will always remain dogs, unless we as classifiers decide that we don't call them "dogs" any longer.
​
What's the problem???
​
(editops... I had to change 'any ancestors' in 'any offspring', obviously )
